Jason Pierre-Paul signs with Giants, could return after bye

All is finally right in the world for the New York Giants and Jason Pierre-Paul.

The defensive end signed a contract with the team on Tuesday, nearly four months after he suffered a serious hand injury in a fireworks accident on July 4 that led to one of his fingers being amputated.

JPP will begin working with the team’s medical staff. The Giants have a two-game roster exemption for him, which will keep him from playing in Weeks 8 and 9. He could return for the team’s Week 10 game against the Patriots on Nov. 15, but the more likely scenario is him returning on Nov.
